Exhibition: Sharks 6, Ducks 1

The Ducks unleashed their big line Wednesday at Honda Center and then failed to produce much offense in a 6-1 preseason loss to San Jose.

After sitting out the club's first preseason game, the top threesome of CoreyPerry, Ryan Getzlaf and Bobby Ryan appeared together. They were held scoreless, their best moments of sustained pressure coming late in the first period and again late in the second, the latter on the power play.

Ryan, who was slowed early in training camp because of groin soreness, showed no ill effects.

The Sharks outshot the Ducks overall, 28-20. Jeff Deslauriers and Iiro Tarkki split time in goal for the home team. In two preseason games, the Ducks now have allowed 13 goals.

After going nearly 17 minutes without a shot on goal to start the game, the Ducks broke the scoreless tie when Andrew Gordon picked up a deflected puck and pushed it into an open net at 18:25.
